However, he is quite stubborn and the lack of communication in their relationship is very unhealthy. His wife “[doesn’t] feel as if it [is] worth while to turn [her] hand over for anything” (Charlotte Perkins Gilman 4). He refuses to hear her out on anything, and makes all the decisions for her. Whether it is which room she is to stay in, or whom she is allowed to visit, John takes away every choice she has and every decision she may have made. He does love her, but because of the hierarchy in their household, and because he is a physician, he firmly believes that he is right in everything he is doing.
Often, the interactions humans encounter with society is what severely defines who they are and how it influences their identity. Humans at the start of birth go through the phase of experience, which leads to the molding of their identity conformed to society. However, when people feel they don’t have a place in society, their identity can be hard to find. Due to their oppositions to society, protagonists Guy Montag of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and Briony Tallis of Ian McEwan’s Atonement are faced with the challenge of finding their own identities while being trapped in unwanted worlds. The crisis of identity is at the core of Fahrenheit 451; as Montag learns from a series of mentors and teachers, he sees his own identity melding with that of his instructors.

Due to his mother’s stern moral beliefs, he does not have much interest in sexual relations and has negative views on it. The third problem is Dunstan’s fear of being manipulated in a relationship because, of his mothers firm control over his father. Thus due to the hostile childhood his mother creates, Dunstan can never form a successful relationship in adulthood and this leads to a life of loneliness. Having trust is a major aspect in keeping a continuous relationship. Being trustful though, is a characteristic Dunstan Ramsay lacks and this results in weakened relationships.

“She should allow none to enter without her husband’s knowledge, dreading above all things the gossip of gadding women, which tends to poison the soul.” (Aristotle) This depicts women as being inferior and not being able to be free to make their own choices. Men were ranker superior and needed to have absolute authority which included controlling every aspect of a women’s life. Women had to be carefully trained by men. “[A husband’s] wife’s training should be the object of a man’s unstinting care; that so far as is possible their children may spring from the noblest of stock.” (Aristotle) To better guarantee their family name would prove virtuous, husbands taught their wives so they could be prepared to raise their children to lead proper lives. “When the time shall come to give or receive in marriage sons or daughters, let her then hearken to her husband in all respects, and agreeing with him, and to render him the service he wills, but ordered life should consider that her husband’s wishes are as laws appointed for her by divine will, along with
